Brood II: It sounds like a low-budget horror movie. But it's real, and it's poised to engulf the East Coast from Georgia to Connecticut, an onslaught of giant bugs that have lain dormant underground for the last 17 years.

The periodical cicada is the Methuselah of insects, spending long years underground in larval form before emerging en masse in tremendous numbers. Groups of 13-year or 17-year periodical cicadas that emerge together are known as 'broods,' and New York State is home to several of them, along with several species of annual cicadas that emerge every year. The last mass cicada emergence in New York, of the 17-year Brood XIV, happened in 2008.

Folk legend Richie Havens, who was the opening act at the 1969 Woodstock festival, died on Monday of a heart attack in his home in Jersey City. He was 72. 

The Roots Agency, who represented Havens, announced the news of his death on their website.

In an obituary, Bloomberg News recounts the story of how Havens -- who was scheduled to play fifth on Woodstock's opening day -- was pressed into service as the festival's opening act:

Havens and two members of his band were pressed into urgent service as other musicians -- including the planned opening act, the folk-rock band Sweetwater -- fought traffic on the roads leading to Max Yasgur’s farm in Bethel, New York, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) from Woodstock, New York.

Over the weekend, the Ulster County Sheriff's Office released an updated list of their top ten most wanted fugitives from justice. 

The ten men on the list are wanted for a wide variety of alleged offenses: assault, larceny, welfare fraud, failing to register as a sex offender, failure to pay child support, and in one case, felony DWI.

Topping the list is 30-year-old Jahson Marryshow, who was indicted by an Ulster County grand jury in 2010 on felony charges of robbery, arson and grand larceny, for allegedly robbing the Bank of America in Woodstock and setting fire to a barn. 

One man on the list, 26-year-old Frankie Joseph, is currently incarcerated in the Lakeview Correctional Facility, a minimum-security prison in Chautauqua County. An officer at the Ulster County Sheriff's Office told the Watershed Post that Ulster County had only recently learned of Joseph's whereabouts.

The list:

1. Jahson A. Marryshow, 30, wanted for Robbery 1st (Bank of America, Woodstock), last known address of 26 Witchtree Road, Woodstock

A tornado touched down near Bainbridge on Friday evening and traveled across the Chenango/Delaware County border before breaking up, the National Weather Service announced Saturday. 

According to a NWS statement, the tornado touched down at 7:53pm about 4 miles south-southeast of Bainbridge, on South Afton Road between I-88 and Highway 206, and traveled 3.2 miles to end up about 3 miles south of Sidney at 7:58pm.

At their maximum speed, winds in the tornado reached 110 miles per hour. The tornado cut a path 200 yards wide at its widest point. On the Enhanced Fujita scale for measuring the strength of tornadoes, which ranges from EF0 to EF5, this was an EF1.
